The
Inside Story: HalloweenAn inside look at the
making of John Carpenter's 1978 low-budget horror
masterpiece. First conceived as a "babysitter murder movie"

school grads and a gang of eager but inexperienced actors,
tackled Halloween's 21-day shooting schedule, $325,000
budget and an ambitious four-minute long take to become the
stuff of indie-film legend. This is an inspirational story
of young artists coming together and a "behind-the-mask"
look at one of the creepiest horror flicks of all time.

having five different Michael Myers' to the movie's legacy

not one equal. Biography 2010
